The Farmers Museum hosts Carousel Organ Association of America Rally, on September 29 & 30, 10:00am – 5:00pm.
The rally features a dozen large band organs, including the largest trumpet organ in Canada. You will hear the sounds of an entire band played mechanically by organs made by Gavioli, Ruth & Sohn, Stinson, and Wurlitzer. Members of the Carousel Organ Association of America will bring these remarkable machines from all over the eastern United States.
You will also hear many strolling hand-cranked grinder organs throughout the museum’s historic village. Holding its own, the Mighty, Majestic, Military Band Organ of the Empire State, which makes its home at the museum, will give regular concerts in the Carousel Pavilion.
Admission to the rally is included with regular museum admission. – www.farmersmuseum.org
